And I'm like, you want me to shoehorn?

sexual assault conversation.

Oh, are people upset that we're not, like, all over that?

Yeah, so for those that don't know, Carter Hart was, along with others, found not guilty for a sexual assault in London and Ontario.

But, you know, there is evidence that suggests something...

happened there and and he's been extremely controversial you have the crowd in Carolina chanting no means no now when it comes to his performance it's been really solid for Vegas right now and Tortorella just you know bucked up against the notion of pulling him Aiden Hill is a Stanley Cup winner we know from our time in the Stanley Cup playing Vegas Aiden Hill was really terrific there it's a normal question to be asked but Tortorella is particularly spicy

So are we, like, you know, people are upset that Carter Hart was even allowed back in the league, that Vegas even signed him.

So, like, are we happy that he's getting crushed here?

Because, like I said, first goalie ever, five straight games in the Stanley Cup Finals, a lot of four-plus goals.

Yeah, people were unhappy that he even got the opportunity.

So he's been highly controversial.

Yeah, very easy to root against these Golden Knights for many reasons.

Carter Hart, the presence just of, if you like merit of the regular season, you want to root against the Golden Knights here.

It's weird that they've wound up in the final.

It kind of invalidates the regular season of hockey, which is a bad look for a borderline kind of fringy sport.

John Tortorello is a jackass to beat all jackasses.

That's another reason to root against them.

But the other thing is,

If you're trying to look at this hockey final in the final days, maybe just 60 minutes less than this season.

All the conversation about fungibility of running backs in the NFL applies to NHL goaltenders now.
